Giving Thanks II

Song - Thanksgiving Song by Adam Sandler 

 

 

Most of these last few weeks were spent on Thanksgiving preparation.  I bought all of the non-perishables last week and polished the silver.  Mr. B went shopping Tuesday for perishables while I cleaned house and began setting the table.



The silverware still needs to be added as well as a few loose ends - salt & pepper & butter!


The only thing not cooperating is our tree....



 Our October Glory was amazing about a week ago when this photo was taken but unfortunately all the leaves will be gone by Turkey Day. Our family and friends like to pose every year in front of this tree for photos.

Notice that there were very few leaves on the tree here

I did gather some leaves from several of our trees and ironed them with wax paper to preserve them. I then placed them inside our glass candle holders with flame-less candles. You can see them in the second photo from the top. They look beautiful as the light shines through them.

Here's to Hearts

Song - My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion cover by Karolina Protsenko



Yesterday I took a lovely walk with my buddy Jill. Now most of you know I haven't been out much in the last 7 months due to respiratory issues.  But taking a stroll around the neighborhood sounded perfect.  We were walking over a bridge and I saw these colorful little hearts.




 This one looks like a bird flying to its nest filled with eggs and love.






The hearts were on both sides of the bridge.  Most of them were giving thanks to doctors and nurses.



But most were a reminder about love and caring for our community.  I was delighted to stumble upon them!
